Spectrum Master Programming Manual : GSM Commands : [:SENSe] Subsystem
 
[:SENSe] Subsystem
The commands in this subsystem relate to device‑specific parameters, not signal‑oriented parameters.
[:SENSe]:FREQuency:BAND AUTO|GSM|EDGE
[:SENSe]:FREQuency:BAND?
Title
GSM/EDGE Measurement Selection
Description
This command toggles the type of signal that is measured. AUTO allows the instrument to search for a GSM or EDGE signal automatically. GSM sets the instrument to measure only GSM signals. EDGE sets the instrument to measure only EDGE signals.
The query form of the command returns the measurement mode that the instrument is currently in.
Parameter

Default Value
AUTO

[:SENSe]:FREQuency:CENTer <freq>
[:SENSe]:FREQuency:CENTer?
Title
Center Frequency
Description
Sets the center frequency. Note that changing the value of the center frequency will change the value of the coupled parameters Start Frequency and Stop Frequency. It may also change the value of the span.
Parameter
<freq>
Default Value
1 GHz
Default Unit
Hz
Range
0 Hz to 7.1 GHz

[:SENSe]:FREQuency:SIGStandard:CHANnel <number>
[:SENSe]:FREQuency:SIGStandard:CHANnel?
Title
Channel Selection
Description
Sets the channel number for the selected signal standard.
Parameter
<number>

Freq, Channel
[:SENSe]:FREQuency:SIGStandard:NAMe <string>
[:SENSe]:FREQuency:SIGStandard:NAMe?
Title
Signal Standard
Description
Selects the desired signal standard from the list. The <string> argument is the name of the desired signal standard as displayed in the instrument’s current signal standard list. The list can be displayed on the instrument by choosing the Signal Standard submenu button in the Freq menu. The list can also be downloaded remotely and viewed using Anritsu Master Software Tools. For example, if the desired Signal Standard is P‑GSM 900 - Uplink then the value of the <string> argument would be “P‑GSM 900 - Uplink”.
The query form of this command will return the name of the currently‑selected Signal Standard on the list.
Parameter
<string>

[:SENSe]:FREQuency:STARt?
Title
Start Frequency
Description
Queries the start frequency of the Multi‑Channel Spectrum. Note that this command is valid only if the current view is set to Multi‑Channel Spectrum.
Parameter
<freq>
Default Unit
Hz
Related Command
[:SENSe]:FREQuency:STOP?
[:SENSe]:FREQuency:STOP?
Title
Stop Frequency
Description
Queries the stop frequency of the Multi‑Channel Spectrum. Note that this command is valid only if the current view is set to Multi‑Channel Spectrum.
Parameter
<freq>
Default Unit
Hz
[:SENSe]:PFail <test set>
[:SENSe]:PFail?
Title
PASS/FAIL Test Selection
Description
Selects the active test set to be used in subsequent PASS/FAIL measurements. The <test set> value must correspond to a test set that is defined in the test set list. To view the list on the instrument, go into the “Measurement” menu, press the “Pass/Fail Mode” key, and then press the “Select Pass/Fail Test” submenu. Alternatively, the list can be retrieved remotely and viewed using the Anritsu Master Software Tools. The <test set> argument is a 1‑based index of the position of the desired Pass/Fail test set in the instrument’s current Pass/Fail test set list. For example, if the desired Pass/Fail test is the 3rd item on the list then the value of the <test set> argument would be 3.
When using the query form of the command, the return value is the currently selected test set number. If there is not a valid test set selected, the return value is “–1” (negative 1).
Parameter

[:SENSe]:POWer[:RF]:RANGe:AUTO OFF|ON|0|1
[:SENSe]:POWer[:RF]:RANGe:AUTO?
Title
Automatic Amplitude Range
Description
Sets the automatic amplitude range. Setting the value to ON or 1 will result in the amplitude range being coupled to the detected input signal level. Setting the value to OFF or 0 will result in the input attenuation being un‑coupled from the input signal level. That is, changing the input signal level will not change the amplitude range. When this command is issued, the amplitude range itself will not change. The default value is ON. That is, sending :SENS:POW:RANG:AUTO is equivalent to sending :SENS:POW:RANG:AUTO ON.
Parameter
OFF|ON|0|1
Parameter Type
<boolean>
Default Value
ON

[:SENSe]:POWer[:RF]:RANGe[:IMMediate]
Title
Amplitude Range
Description
Re‑calculates amplitude range. Note that issuing this command will set the automatic dynamic range OFF.
